-`csbt` is a coursier-based sbt launcher.
-
-It is extremely experimental, suffering a few issues. In particular, compiling
-several modules at once (e.g. by running `csbt test:compile` from the coursier
-sources) often results in spurious scalac errors. Also, it might have issues
-with `*.sbt` files under `~/.sbt` - the whole point of csbt would be to scrap
-those for standard configuration files.
